Can some intelligent person explain why US has to keep going back and forth between 2 parties, while many other countries (republics) don't?

They wouldn't be in my sig if they didn't convert well! -
two parties with the most money.
Often times I wonder why
There's love and hate, theres live or die.
When sickness comes I must decide:
When feelings go, theres suicide.

I got my "sample ballot" in the mail. There are like 13 parties running for the offices of P and VP. It's about campaign funding. I'd never even heard of the other 11 foolios.Originally posted by M_M

Monopoly posing as a duopoly posing as a democracy.
If it wasn't, then you would have saw televised debates with everyone who got enough support to be on the ballots in more than XX states (ie... Nader, Badnarik, Cobb etc.)
What a fucking scam.Last edited by goBigtime; 10-21-2004, 11:44 AM.Comment

What I meant is, in other countries, there are more than 2 major parties involved in elections.
Usually no single party wins the majority vote, and they need to build coalitions to form governments.;-)!;-)!;-)!;-)!;-)!;-)!;-)!;-)!;-)!;-)!;-)Comment

Yes, I'm trying to understand why that happens in the US, while in many other countries, at least 4-5 parties would get more than 5% of the vote.
What's different here?;-)!;-)!;-)!;-)!;-)!;-)!;-)!;-)!;-)!;-)!;-)Comment

Ah I see - yes, more or less what nofx said - these two parties are so well established that it's damned near impossible for another party to move in aside them right now. So our choices are limited and we are forced to vote for lesser of two evils.Originally posted by M_M

It's not about campaign funding.
Perot had plenty of money & they still didn't let his ass in the debates with Bush and Clinton.
It's about controlling the elections and the issues discussed.Comment
